COVID-19 / SARS-CoV-2

SARS-CoV-2 has now been listed as a biological agent by the EU and US. It belongs in the viral agents section, no? 24.156.93.206 (talk) 21:11, 18 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It does say it's an agent, I'll give you that, but nowhere does it say that it has been used in terrorist attacks as you said it had — Preceding unsigned comment added by Not-wiki-jam (talk • contribs) 11:58, 19 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge redundant Wikidata items "biological weapon" (Q170907) and "biological agent" (Q2742406)?

The Wikidata items mentioned in the title seem to be rendundant duplicates. Can/should they be merged? As I am still new to editing Wikipedia, I don't know how this works and want to avoid breaking anything accidentally. Thank you for your help!

CIA-Tests "on 2200 Adventists in the 1970s"?

Maybe somebody interested can check what is claimed in the german version, as the source cited is no more precise than: "C.Piller, K. R. Yamamoto, Gene Wars, New York 1988." without citing a precise page. Herbert R. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.116.159.115 (talk) 10:08, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oops: There is another source mentioned: Hearings before the Select Committee to Study Governmental Operations with Respekt to Intelligence Activities of the United States Senate, Ninety-fourth Congress, Volume 1, Washington 1976, S. 6 - Herbert R. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.116.159.115 (talk) 10:11, 10 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
